BUICK Complaints

2008 BUICK ENCLAVE HAS HAD AT LEAST 5 STARTING FAILURES. EACH TIME DEALERSHIP HAS DIFFERENT EXPLAINATION. ONCE THEY SAID SOME MODULE.NEXT THEY SAID BAD BATTERY. TODAY ONCE AGAIN,NO START. VEHICHLE WAS DRIVEN THIS MORNING. THIS AFTERNOON, SAME DOGGONE PROBLEM. HAVE'NT TRIED IT THIS EVENING. TOO DISGUSTED! *TT

WE HAVE HAD ALL 4 OF OUR WINDOW REGULATORS REPLACED ON OUR 2001 BUICK LESABRE WITHIN A MONTH OF EACH OTHER. THE WINDOWS FALL DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. IT HAS COST US $200 EACH TO HAVE THEM REPLACED. I PERSONALLY WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER BUICK IF THIS IS THE WAY GM HANDLES THINGS. ALSO, THE DASHBOARD SKIN HAS PEELED AWAY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND SLOWLY PROCEEDING TO THE PASSENGER SIDE. *TT

2005 BUICK TERAZZA REAR PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR WILL NOT CLOSE OR STAY CLOSED. WHEN CLOSED, AN ALARM SOUNDS CONTINUOUSLY. HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE SERVICED BY BUICK FOR OVER THREE YEARS. BUICK HAS REPLACED SOME OF THE PARTS, BUT IT CONTINUES TO HAPPEN. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS TODAY. *TT

GAS GAUGE FAILED READS LESS THAN 1/8 TANK. WARNING FOR LOW FUEL ALARM COMES ON EVEN AFTER FULL FILL-UP. CHECK EMISSION LIGHT PERIODICALLY TURNS ON. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO AFTER FILLING MY TANK AND STARTING MY 2006 BUICK RAINIER THE GAS GAUGE READ PAST 'EMPTY' AND THE 'LOW-FUEL" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. THIS CONTINUED FOR SEVERAL DAYS AFTER FILL-UP AND FLUCTUATED BETWEEN FULL, EMPTY AND ALL POINTS IN BETWEEN. IN ADDITION THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WITH EACH FILL-UP. AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 TO 20 MILES THE GAUGE WOULD RETURN TO MORE ACCURATE READINGS. HOWEVER, MOST RECENTLY THIS IS NO LONGER THE CASE AS THE FALSE GAS GAUGE READINGS, LOW-FUEL AND CHECK ENGINE WARNINGS HAVE BECOME CONSTANT AND I CAN NO LONGER TRUST THEM AT ALL. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH A $500 + PRICE TAG WHICH CONSUMERS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BEAR. *TR

2010 BUICK ENCLAVE. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH BRAKING SYSTEM *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HE HEARD A NOISE COMING FROM THE WHEEL ON THE REAR DRIVER SIDE. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE WARPED ROTORS WERE THE RESULT OF AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF STOP AND GO DRIVING AND TOO MUCH PRESSURE BEING APPLIED TO THE BRAKES. THE REAR BRAKE PADS WERE METAL TO METAL AND THE FRONT PADS AND ROTORS WERE WORN. THE LEFT REAR ROTOR WAS WORN TOO MUCH TO CUT AND THE LEFT FRONT ROTOR WAS TOO FAR OUT OF SPECIFICATIONS AFTER IT WAS CUT. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2000 BUICK PARK AVENUE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A LEFT TURN AT 5 MPH WITH THE BRAKES DEPRESSED THEY SUDDENLY LOCKED CAUSING THE STABILITY CONTROL FEATURE TO ACTIVATE ITSELF. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO MOVE INTO THE NEXT LANE ON ITS OWN WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED AND REPROGRAM THE STEERING SENSOR. NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 00V114000; SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC: FOUNDATION WAS RELATED TO THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THE DEALER STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. EACH TIME THE VEHICLE NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED THE CONTACT WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING OVER $200. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ALSO STATED THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,221 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,800.
